August 7, 2014: Today is National Lighthouse Day, marking the day back in 1789 when Congress approved an Act for the establishment and support of lighthouses, beacons, buoys and public piers. And ever since then, they’ve kept things from smashing into other things, which is always good.

Today is also Raspberries and Cream Day, following Strawberries and Cream Day a few months ago, and Peaches and Cream Day more recently. I wonder if we’re going to have any other fruit/cream combo days coming up, or if this is the last one for the year. Time will tell!
